“The homeowner, Earl Jones, 92, was awakened and grabbed his .22 caliber rifle.”
“An officer with the Miami-Dade police department was arrested by federal authorities for stopping female drivers for no other reason than to initiate ‘sexually suggestive conversations.’ The criminal complaint filed by the FBI against Dwivedi, obtained by the Herald and written by special agent Susan Funk, said he made numerous stops that lasted well beyond the necessary length of time for a routine stop. He also reportedly made these stops ‘without probable cause, reasonable [suspicion] or other lawful authority to conduct a stop.'”

“Think you’re innocent until proven guilty? You might not be in the eyes of Lawrenceville Police Detective Tim Ashley. One of his botched investigations landed an innocent man behind bars for nearly three months. It didn’t matter that the facts didn’t fit, facts anyone could have could have seen with an untrained eye. Chief Investigative Reporter Wendy Saltzman is asking the Tough Question: Why isn’t anything being done to stop him?”
“September 06, 2012 – President Obama defends the use of drone warfare in an exclusive interview with CNN’s Jessica Yellin.”
“The U.S. health care system squanders $750 billion a year — roughly 30 cents of every medical dollar — through unneeded care, byzantine paperwork, fraud and other waste, the influential Institute of Medicine said Thursday in a report that ties directly into the presidential campaign. President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are accusing each other of trying to slash Medicare and put seniors at risk. But the counter-intuitive finding from the report is that deep cuts are possible without rationing, and a leaner system may even produce better quality.”
“Ben Swann Reality Check looks at how the DNC scripted a vote to change the party’s platform one week after the Republican leadership did the same thing at the RNC.”

“I believe central bankers are in this world to print money. They are, intellectually, completely dishonest or incompetent, and that’s all they know. This is a very dangerous trend, and I will always, always fight governments on every level I can because the larger the government is, the larger the abuse is in a system. I have roughly 25% of my assets in gold. I buy every month, and I will never, ever sell it as long as people such as Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Obama, Biden, Bernanke, and Geithner are in government. I will never sell it. Never.”
“Opposition parties in Japan are blocking a deficit financing bill which would allow the government to continue to drive its debt levels above 200pc of GDP. If the opposition holds firm, the government has threatened the unthinkable – it will spend less. This is a turnaround for Japan. The nation’s government has already contorted itself in all the ways now common in the West while attempting to postpone this day. As in the West, the Japanese have stuck to the dogma of easy monetary policy to fight decline, and as in the West it has not worked. A decade of Quantitative Easing has done little to fight deflation and nothing to avert stagnation.”
“The United States’ ability to compete on the global stage has fallen for the fourth year running as confidence in the country’s politicians continues to decline, an annual survey from the World Economic Forum found Wednesday. Even though the world’s largest economy saw its overall competitiveness rise on the back of its status as a global innovation powerhouse, the Forum says the U.S.’s ranking has dropped two places to seventh this year. The Netherlands and Germany have moved ahead of the U.S. on the top 10 leaderboard.”
“It’s anything but dead. It’s growing, and the ecosystem around it is growing too. With BitInstant, we’re going to see greater integration between traditional currencies and Bitcoin. With Coinbase, we’re seeing a confusing process made simple. More merchants and more consumers are signing up every day, and more value is being traded in the system all the time. You might not like Bitcoin, but it’s not going away.”
